Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

"I see... You mean you were rescued from the mouth of the giant black mamba."

"I even gave you some meat."

But Maxim and Ivan didn't see anything wrong with it at all.

Oh, so it was that man...

Yes, if it's that man, then everything makes sense.

Yes, it has to be that man again.

Maxim was finally relieved, let out a heavy sigh, and sat back down on the rock.

"You're lucky, kid, to have run into that man."

Ivan laughed too, "Yeah, if it were any other contestant, you'd probably be devoured to bits by now."

"That's right."

Alexander thought to himself, "Yes, there are still more good people than bad in the world."

"Wait a minute, judging from your tone, do you know something?"

"Um……"

The two men exchanged a glance.

Maxim carefully considered his words, "Have we told you before about the story of a contestant who defeated a mutated black panther with six eyes on the very first day the forbidden area opened, using only a broken knife, a tattered rope, and a bar of soap...?"

"..."

What is this guy saying?

Alexander was indeed a little confused.

A black panther with six eyes?

real or fake?

Ivan patted him on the shoulder. "That's Ou Yun. The Ou Yun you met."

"?"

"Then he defeated a steel-armored black bear and projected it into the real world ten thousand times over."

"??"

"No, more importantly, he has the ability to summon pure water. Unlimited summoning means that you can drink it anytime you want."

"Yes, now there's one more thing they can eat whenever they want—table salt. Food isn't even that important to them anymore."

"You could say they have the lowest Engel coefficient among all the teams."

"You and he were among the first batch to come in, so you don't know these things."

"Oh my, so you guys are actually in the same year."

"...???"

This terrified Alexander, a classmate.

Is this even human language?

How come he can't understand a single word?

So all that time he spent coming here was for nothing?

Damn it, he suddenly felt like a greenhorn right now!

Their camp was already taking shape—they had been working tirelessly all day, and had even built a small cabin.

Although meat wasn't available at every meal, they had collected quite a few fruits and wild vegetables, which was enough to keep them fed.

He even thought that the Bear Kingdom was developing very well under his leadership.

Compared to others, I suddenly feel...

It's nothing!

Alexander is feeling a lot of pressure again.

"..."

He seemed somewhat powerless as he lowered his head and remained silent.

Maxim sighed, "Dude, don't be discouraged. What we're meant to have, we'll have. And what we're not meant to have, we won't get by thinking about it too much!"

Ivan said yes, "Look, we're doing really well now. If we keep this up, we've already surpassed many competitors—"

However, Alexander suddenly jumped up, grabbed Maxim by the neck, and shook him violently.

"You son of a bitch! Why didn't you tell me all this sooner?!"

"Then can I stay with them a little longer?"

"Maybe this way we can strike a deal with them!"

"Even an alliance!"

"My dream of becoming rich and powerful has been shattered!!!"

Maxim's head was spinning from being shaken. "No, no... There are so many athletes from different countries in the forbidden area, I can't remember every single one of them so clearly...!"

Ivan sighed, "Mainly because we didn't expect to actually run into him..."

The forbidden area is so vast, it's not just a forest. Back when they were still in the real world, they saw contestants from other countries land on a glacier, grit their teeth and hold on for three days, but still freeze to death.

Moreover, it's still unknown whether they are friend or foe... Although they have this idea, the other party doesn't, so wouldn't that be awkward?

Well, back then they just thought it was better to avoid trouble... haha.

"The forbidden area is so vast... We probably won't have another chance!"

Alexander felt more and more that he had missed out on a hundred million—no, hundreds of billions!

No wonder even someone as ruthless as Miss Leng calls him "Big Brother"! What a great big brother he is!

Not only did they save his life, they also gave him a lot of meat.

If he can't accept such a good older brother, then he shouldn't be living in this wilderness; it's pointless.

Ivan thought about it and realized that it did seem to be true.

They had never expected to encounter it before; it seemed like a completely ethereal existence, so they never even considered it.

It seems like there's actually hope!

Alliance? That's just wishful thinking.

They can make transactions!

Unlimited pure water? Isn't this the emperor of pure water?

And unlimited salt. He's practically a salt tycoon!

If they could reach a stable deal on these two resources...

Damn it!

Ivan was getting a little carried away too. "Shall we turn back now? Maybe we can still run into them?"

Maxim realized what was going on. "That's right. Didn't you say they have a lot of resources to move? Maybe they haven't even gotten back to camp yet. Maybe if we go over there now..."

"what……"

But upon hearing this, Alexander suddenly calmed down.

"Hmm... well, maybe we should wait a bit longer."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm a little afraid of snakes..."

"..."

"..."

Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom camp has finally begun the camp construction phase.

Cutting down trees is not only physically demanding, but also requires technical skill.

"It's best not to saw directly. You have to make a cut first, and you also have to consider gravity."

So Chen Hao, who had the worst physical strength, gave instructions from the side.

"Every year, quite a few people are killed by falling trees, mostly because they neglected to address the issue of trees falling."

Leng Ruolan weighed the old-fashioned saw in her hand, smiling. "That's right, that's why I said it would be great to have a chainsaw."

"Hmm, having a chainsaw would definitely make things much more convenient..."

The two of them looked at Ou Yun simultaneously.

Ou Yun, who was munching on a large dried fish, was taken aback. "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"

"It's nothing."

The two exchanged another glance.

Sigh, this kind of thing is really too much of a stretch.

Yes, even the eldest brother can't always have his wishes fulfilled.

If only there were a chainsaw...

Yes, it would be great to have a chainsaw.

"well……"

The two sighed in unison.

After finishing the large dried fish, Ou Yun got up, satisfied.

Leng's exclusive salt-baked dried fish is absolutely delicious.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Okay, come back soon."

After saying that, Leng Ruolan and Ou Yun got into the off-road vehicle and put on sunglasses.

"Set off!"

Although they didn't have chainsaws.

But you can call for backup!
